anyone knows how to remove 2002 pontiac montona headrest?
Here's what the service manual says. The special tool mentioned looks like a pair of thin "L" shaped strips of metal that are slipped between the post and the guide to defeat the detent. The top of the "L" is used as a handle for the tool.

2002 Pontiac Montana-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Head Restraint Replacement - Front Seat Tool Required J 42372 Headrest Removal Tool
Removal Procedure Head restraints are the double-post type that are adjustable either up or down. Only the solid type head restraints have serviceable trim covers. Removal of the head restraints can be accomplished by using the J 42372 or by fabricating a similar tool. Raise the head restraint to the full up position. Push the head restraint down just far enough in order to center the locking clip in the guide (4) between the detents (3) on the posts (1). Insert the J 42372 down the detent side of both posts (3). At the same time, hold both of the tools (2) down and lift the head restraint upward in order to disengage the detents (3) from the guide (4). Lift the head restraint out.
Installation Procedure
Push the head restraint to a full down position in order to install the head restraint posts (1) into the guides (4). Raise the head restraint in order to ensure that the restraint stops at the detent (3). Return the head restraint to its original position.
